Editorials Ytll l'll FACES Tlllfl Fl l'l7liE The time is rapidly approaching when it will be necessary for us, ourselves, to face the problems of this vast civiliza- tion of ours. liet us for a moment consid- er how we can best prepare ourselves for this great undertaking and what oppor- tunities are open for us. l'pon graduation from high school we ask ourselves this question, XVhere am I going from here? This inquiry. although a very perplexing o11e, is of the utmost importance, because the decision we make at this time in our life is usual- ly the goal that we strive to attain during the rest of our lives. If we allow our- selves to drift about from place to place with no definite aim, usually we gain very little. Of course, we all cannot be great and make a. name for ourselves that will go down in history, but the best thing for us to do is to choose the vocation that is best suited for us and to continue all our lives 'toward that goal. Further education, whenever it is possible, is certainly the most efficient way to prepare ourselves for the future. l11 securing our education it is not wise for us to study only certain subjects that interest us, for today an educated person should know everything about something and something about everything. Edu- cation for peace should be encouraged, because of what use is an education to us if we allow the world to be destroyed by war? Perhaps as time goes on, it becomes harder for us to choose a vocationg maybe we think that everything had been done in the world-that there is nothing more to invent. There are hundreds of books available, telling us all about the various fields of work. In truth, the world has just lVt 5l'llll2 we have a marvelous future ahead of us. Many people have said that this world is finished. that there is nothing else to do, but there are new inventions being made every year and new fields of work opening up that need men and wo- men to go into them farther and advance civilization. Perhaps, at first, defeat will be our lot, but this not only prepares us for success, but arouses within us the compelling desire to succeed. VVith all the possibilities awaiting us in the field of science, of medicine, of business, of art, and lnindreds of others, let us, the youth of the nation, resolve to do our best in advancing a glorious fu- ture and in making this a peaceful world. R. MacPherson, '39 if 41 'll 'U OUR NAVY XVith the rise of the present war complex in Europe and Asia we hear much more about our own armed forces, and especially about our Navy which is really the first line of defense. Little does the average citizen real- ize how much of an investment our Navy actually represents. During peace time he hears of the Navy only as a group of excursion steamers for young men inter- ested in seeing the world. However, when the war complex arises, the average citi- zen takes a sudden interest in this branch of our armed forces. The sad part is that this interest is not maintained in peace time. The interest of the citizens in their Navy has much to do with the actual quality of our ships and the morale of
